K-12 Outreach and Activities
While K-State Olathe's main audience is graduate students and researchers, it has extended its expertise to K-12 learners as well. The K-12 science education programs are designed to support the six Johnson County public school districts and other schools in the Greater Kansas City area in collaboratively developing, coordinating and participating in educational programs in animal health, food safety and food security.
Career Possibilities in Biotechnology
What's your answer to the questions, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" or "What's your major?" Consider a career in biotechnology.
Biotechnology is a field undergoing tremendous growth, and the demand for jobs — and qualified, experienced professionals to fill those jobs — is at an all-time high. Graduates need the right educational training and experiences to land these jobs and be highly successful. Fortunately, Greater Kansas City has you covered.
